You’ll Find Traditional Basque Cuisine At The 70-Year-Old Santa Fe Hotel In Nevada (Only In Your State-n)

2019/10/26

If you’ve lived in Nevada for any amount of time, you’re probably aware of the impact that Basque culture has had on our state. In fact, the Silver State is one of the few places in the country where you can find authentic and delicious Basque cuisine. There are plenty of historic Basque restaurants in our state to choose from, but one of the most beloved is the Santa Fe Hotel. This restaurant is a staple in Reno, and it’s recent return after a brief closure has made us even more fond of it. If you have yet to dine at this historic spot, you’ll want to plan a family outing ASAP to do so.

Lotura: Only In Your State

Emerson. When Reno's Santa Fe Hotel re-opened back in July, it meant a piece of Nevada history was able to live on. Originally opened in 1949, this historic Basque restaurant is a must for authentic cuisine in a cozy atmosphere.

The Santa Fe was closed for two whole years, but visiting it today you'll see that it's received quite the upgrade. The interior may look different than it has in the past, but this is the same ol' Santa Fe Hotel that Reno residents have grown to love and cherish.

Basque culture is very unique to Nevada. Coming from a very small country situated between France and Spain, many Basque people immigrated to the U.S. during the 19th century. They flocked to many western states, and Nevada was one of them.

Today, Nevada is home to some of the finest Basque cuisine in the country. One of the most notable featured of Basque dining are the family-style dinners, which you'll find here at the Santa Fe. These gigantic dinners include a variety of entrees along with side dishes like beans, salad, oxtail, and soup.

Alternatively, you can dine at one of the restaurant's smaller tables for a more intimate experience. With authentic and hearty dishes like New York Strip Steak, Campo Viejo Beef Tongue, Braised Oxtail, and Colorado Lamb Lollipops, your appetite will definitely be satiated!

Of course, seafood paella is one of the most well-known Basque dishes. It's served only as a special on Friday and Saturday, so be sure to plan accordingly if you want a taste of this mouthwatering dish.

We couldn't be happier to see this essential piece of Nevada history receive new life. The Santa Fe Hotel has been a longstanding favorite among Reno residents for good reason, and you'll just have to stop by yourself to see why.

The Santa Fe Hotel is open from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday
